Today marks 13 years since Tricia Lillard left this earth to be with Jesus. Tricia embodied the spirit of Ephesians 2:10, dedicating her life to serving others. As a foster parent to nearly 30 children and adoptive mother to two, she was a shining example of love in action.

In honor of Tricia's legacy, Agape has launched the campaign. Join us as we celebrate her life and commitment to making a difference in the lives of children. Your donation will help continue her mission of providing safe and loving homes for those in need.

Let's honor Tricia's memory by spreading love and kindness wherever we go. Donate at agapemeanslove.org/donate today and help us continue her legacy of compassion and generosity.
